This is hledger's web interface. It provides a more user-friendly and collaborative UI than the command-line or curses-style interfaces.

hledger is a cross-platform program for tracking money, time, or any other commodity, using double-entry accounting and a simple, editable file format. It is inspired by and largely compatible with ledger(1). hledger provides command-line, curses and web interfaces, and aims to be a reliable, practical tool for daily use.

Changes

User-visible changes in hledger-web. See also the hledger changelog.

1.14.1 2019-03-20

  • /accounts JSON: return all accounts, not just top-level ones (#985) Accounts are returned as a flat list, in tree order, with asubs fields empty.

  • use hledger 1.14.2

1.14 2019-03-01

  • serve the same JSON-providing routes as in hledger-api:

    /accountnames
    /transactions
    /prices
    /commodities
    /accounts
    /accounttransactions/ACCT
    

    And allow adding a new transaction by PUT’ing JSON (similar to the output of /transactions) to /add. This requires the add capability (which is enabled by default). Here’s how to test with curl:

    $ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000/add -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @in.json; echo

1.3 (2017/6/30)

Depends on hledger[-lib] 1.3, see related changelogs.

1.2 (2017/3/31)

Accounts with ? in name had empty registers (fixes #498) (Bryan Richter)

Allow megaparsec 5.2 (fixes #503)

1.1 (2016/12/31)

  • add –host option (#429)

    This came up in the context of Docker, but it seems it wasn’t possible for hledger-web to serve remote clients directly (without a proxy) because of 127.0.0.1 being hardcoded. That can now be changed with –host=IPADDR. Also, the default base url uses this address rather than a hard-coded “localhost”.

  • rename –server to –serve

    The –server flag sounded too close in meaning to –host so I’ve renamed it to –serve. The old spelling is still accepted, but deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

1.0.1 (2016/10/27)

  • allow megaparsec 5.0 or 5.1

1.0 (2016/10/26)

ui

  • use full width on large screens, hide sidebar on small screens, more standard bootstrap styling (#418, #422) (Dominik Süß)

  • show the sidebar by default (#310)

  • fix the add link’s tooltip

  • when the add form opens, focus the first field (#338)

  • leave the add form’s date field blank, avoiding a problem with tab clearing it (#322)

  • use transaction id instead of date in transaction urls (#308) (Thomas R. Koll)

  • after following a link to a transaction, highlight it (Thomas R. Koll)

  • misc. HTML/CSS/file cleanups/fixes (Thomas R. Koll)

misc

  • startup is more robust (#226).

    Now we exit if something is already using the specified port, and we don’t open a browser page before the app is ready.

  • termination is more robust, avoiding stray background threads.

    We terminate the server thread more carefully on exit, eg on control-C in GHCI.

  • more robust register dates and filtering in some situations (see hledger-ui notes)

  • reloading the journal preserves options, arguments in effect (#314).

    The initial query specified by command line arguments is now preserved when the journal is reloaded. This does not appear in the web UI, it’s like an invisible extra filter.

  • show a proper not found page on 404

  • document the special `inacct:` query (#390)

0.27 (2015/10/30)

  • Fix keyboard shortcut for adding a transaction (Carlos Lopez-Camey)

  • Clear the form when clicking ‘Add a transaction’ (just like the shortcut) (Carlos Lopez-Camey)

  • Disallow -f- (reading from standard input) which currently doesn’t work (#202)

  • Fix broken links when using –base-url (#235)

  • Fix the –file-url option (#285)

  • Show fewer “other accounts” in the account register: to reduce clutter in the “other accounts” field, if there are both real and virtual postings to other accounts, show only the accounts posted to by real postings.

0.26 (2015/7/12)

  • make the j keybinding respect –base-url (fixes #271)
  • respect command line options (fixes #225)
  • include the unminified jquery source again (#161)
  • fix build breakage from #165 (fixes #268)
  • fix a js error breaking add form in browsers other than firefox (#251, Carlos Lopez-Camey [email protected])
  • drop deprecated network-conduit dependency

0.25 (2015/4/7)

  • GHC 7.10 compatibility (#239)

  • fix the add form when there are included files (#234)

    NB to make this work, the add form now shows the full file path of the main and included journal files.

  • improve add form validation (#223, #234)

    All add form errors are displayed as form errors, not internal server errors, and when there are errors the add form is redisplayed (form inputs are not preserved, currently).

  • keep the add button right-aligned when pressing ctrl - on the add form

0.24.1 (2015/1/10)

  • add missing modules to fix cabal tests (#232)
